Abstract

To provide an equitable transportation system for the public, it is vital to fully understand underrepresented populations’ active transportation needs and their challenges. This study is designed to identify the active transportation studies that focus on underrepresented populations, evaluate the quantification approaches used in the literature, and uncover barriers to the use of active transportation among underrepresented populations in the United States. We used PRISMA guidelines to systematically review relevant publications. After screening and reviewing the literature, some 60 articles were included in the review. The most frequent results when reviewing the literature include that active travel and daily transport trips decreased from younger to older age groups; bicycling was more popular among men, White, and individuals with higher education, whereas walking was more popular among women; bike usage was found to be low among minorities, and those with lower incomes. Furthermore, communities with poor accessibility to bike infrastructure had a larger concentration of African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, low-wage employees, individuals with lower education, and older adults.

美国未被充分代表的人口的主动交通:文献的系统回顾

为了为公众提供一个公平的交通系统，充分了解未被充分代表的人口的主动交通需求及其挑战至关重要。本研究旨在确定关注代表性不足人群的主动交通研究，评估文献中使用的量化方法，并揭示在美国代表性不足人群中使用主动交通的障碍。我们使用PRISMA指南系统地审查相关出版物。在对文献进行筛选和回顾后，约有60篇文章被纳入综述。在回顾文献时，最常见的结果包括:从年轻人到老年人，积极旅行和日常交通旅行减少;骑自行车在男性、白人和受过高等教育的人中更受欢迎，而步行在女性中更受欢迎;研究发现，少数民族和低收入人群的自行车使用率较低。此外，在缺乏自行车基础设施的社区，非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、亚洲人、低薪雇员、受教育程度较低的个人和老年人更集中。
